Do you like Biscuits and Gravy /ck/?
>>7819401
fuck yes, but only if you make the gravy and biscuits homemade not out of that bag shit
No, but only because I'm an autist and the texture of most biscuits drives me up the wall
>>7819401
I feel sorry for non southerners for not knowing the greatness of homemade biscuits and sausage gravy
Meh
Over the years I've eaten them they all taste the same in some minor variation
Never had it from a real restaurant though only school and fast food
>>7819467
You should try making some yourself or eat at a place like a Bob Evans for decent scones and gravy
I love them. I grew up in Alabama so I'm well acquainted with the gloriousness of southern food
Non-American here, can someone explain what biscuits and gravy actually is or what it tastes like?
>>7819475
>can someone explain what biscuits and gravy actually is or what it tastes like?
White gravy is essentially milk, flour, and fat mixed together with sausage or other forms of meat sometimes thrown in. You then pour the gravy over biscuits which are just fluffy pieces of bread. It's a common breakfast food in the south and midwest.
>>7819471
I made it myself before and it was still meh
maybe because all breakfast sausages taste the same FUCKING EVERYWHERE
I never had a breakfast sausage that taste different
>>7819497
>using breakfast sausage
Get normal non breakfast sausage for that shit
>>7819475
creamy, savory, and slightly salty and spicy.
it's really easy to make at home, you just need sausage, milk, butter, flour and thyme/sage/cayenne/black pepper
I put it over potatoes with runny eggs

>>7819463
You act like all of america doesn't know this dish. only cajun, grits, and other wierd food is not found outside the south in large numbers. every place can make biscuits and gravy
>>7819401
who doesn't
>>7819471
>Bob Evans
Faggot
yes
get an half-order with my breakfast
not often
but often enough
so good
and I like Selma Blair
>>7819486
white gravy = bechemel + sausage
love 'its with gra'
>Do you like salt, fat, bread, and meat, anon?
Hell yeah
yes but never order them in England or you get this
>>7819401
I like putting the gravy/sausage between the biscuits and making it into a sloppy joe like sandwich
I like it so much that this was my dinner today
>>7821441
you... you put gravy on the other biscuit too, right anon?
hardees used to have the best biscuits and gravy evahhhhhh..
Haven't had it in ages though
>>7821833
No i'm a maverik and I put the mac and cheese on it
If it's not made from scratch it ain't shit. I'm sorry your grandma didn't wake you up when you spent the night and feed you homemade gravy and biscuits for breakfast IM REALLY FUCKING SORRY. Fast food g&b are shit tier. Canned or frozen biscuits are shit tier. Gravy from a pouch or can is shit tier. My g&b game is strong there's no time for shit imitations.
>>7819401
anytime I go out for breakfast, I get biscuits and gravy. and I'm never disappointed.
>>7819401
My MeMe taught me how to make biscuits when I was a kid when I'd stay with her and my PawPaw over the summer. God I miss her. The south shall rise again. I pity the fool who has only known biscuits out of a can.
i had never had it in my life until i was in the army, and i fell in love with them there. and grits too. it's no wonder southerners are fat.
>>7822055
>The south shall rise again
What did he mean by this?
>>7822056
Yeah, that and frying everything will do that.
>>7822132
The south's average temperature, number of tornado's per year, and BMI are increasing every year for sure
>>7822132
It means our biscuits can beat up your biscuits.
>>7822132
Viagra was finally legalized in Mississippi after the Baptists okayed it.
>>7822154
Seriously? When did this happen? Viagra came out in the 90's.
>>7822168
Viagra was the fastest FDA approved drug ever. I wonder why.
Yes I actually had it for breakfast today
Chicken fried steak with a side of biscuits and gravy at this mom and pop restaurant near me is goat. I live in a ranch area so they're only open 6am to 2pm and it's always packed. I get there nice and early and it keeps me full until late
The gravy is easy to make. Fry up the sausage then take it out. Very finely chopped onions and garlic in butter with flour to make the roux. Heavy cream to make a bechamel. Then just throw in the sausage to cook up a bit.
Too bad I'm such a shitty baker. I'v done my own biscuits, and I'm sure others' would blow mine out of the water, but Pillsbury with that gravy on it is just a damn good meal.
>>7821919
>Fast food g&b are shit tier.
Don't you dare talk about Bojangles that way.
>>7820487
I wouldn't mind that either.
tenders on the side
>>7822055
>My Meme
What did he mean by this?
>>7819401
Literally my favorite food. I like the gravy fairly thick and heavy on the black pepper. I make the gravy myself. About 1/2 lb. of sausage and a quart of milk to make the gravy, but I have to eyeball how much flour to use. It's one of the recipes my dad actually taught me, and he never fucking measures anything.
But my problem is that it's so unhealthy, and one batch is too big for one person, even saving some for leftovers (and it isn't nearly as good leftover).
>>7822742
You're still making the gravy more difficult than it needs to be.
>cook the sausage
>maybe drain off a little bit of grease if it was super fatty, but usually not
>add enough flour to coat all of the sausage well and soak up the fat, but not so much that you have just dry flour in the pan
>add your milk or cream (even 2 percent is fatty enough, it's the pork fat and flour that's going to do most of the thickening)
>>7819899
southerner living in the north:
I agree whole heartedly with your sentiment.
And you can find cajun (cajun seasoning anyway...I don't know exactly what you mean), grits, and many of our better "weird foods" up here.
Only thing I haven't seen up here is chitterlings (thank god)...and that's more of a black southern thing rather than a general southern thing, and here in white people flyover land, I wouldn't expect to see that sort of thing anyway.
Now then, seeing all the weird shit up here...like kluski noodles, white asparagus and shit that appeals to all these goddamn german descendants...you moreso don't see northern stuff in the south than southern stuff in the north.
>>7819463
Brother, it's white roux made with pan drippings, sausage and milk. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to make it.
>>7820487
what would I say then? Scones and sausage-flavour wattle paste?
>>7823913
this, the gravy is just a vessel. Only thing I would add is to season to taste.
>>7823896
Grandma
>>7819401
Hell yeah. Get an egg in there or, if it isn't breakfast, a chicken-fried steak.
My kind of shit.
Had some this morning from a local diner. Not bad, but they never really hold a candle to the stuff in the south back home. One of my favorite breakfast foods.
>>7825218
>Not eating fried chicken and biscuits and gravy for breakfast
>>7825245
Sheeeeit. Now I'm hungry.
Damnit, anon, I'm on a diet.
>>7819486
anon did a bad job. First, you cook the sausage than use the sausage fat left in the pan to make a sausage gravy
I'm not sure about US biscuits = England scones but I thinks so, yes.
>>7820487
brits call milk gravy?
Biscuits are so easy to make at home. So is 'gravy' of many kinds. Simple vegan and plain variations, too. It's a great comfort food.
Think I an out of sage.
>>7821960
it's hit or miss for me actually, many places have bland gravy, like they add mild sausage afterwards.
gravy needs a little spice.
>>7821854
And then you combine them to make a sandwich, right?
>>7825300
that or biscuit "dipping sauce"

If they're not putting pepper in the gravy they fucked up. Add moar
British people have no idea what biscuits & gravy are and I feel so bad for them.
What us Americans call biscuits are nothing like you are used to. The dough is made of white flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, milk, and a stick of butter. Knead the dough and fry chunks of it in a hot skillet. Flip over and press when the bottom side turns golden brown. Fry it in lard for extra America.
The gravy is what we call "country gravy" which is this: >>7819482
Chicken fried steak with biscuits & gravy is the GOAT breakfast and it entirely kicks the shit out of the British full fry. I feel so bad for all you poor people who have never slogged to a greasy spoon at 6:00 AM to get some before hitting the road before the rest of the traffic does.
Biscuits look like pic related. They're hot, fluffy, buttery, and they melt in your mouth. Biscuits are a great side to any southern dish since they absorb, sweeten and enhance the flavor of whatever greens or other sides you eat them with, or you could just have it by itself on the side and smother it in butter and honey.
>>7825862
Sounds fucking disgusting
>>7825875
It's like an orgasm in your mouth.
>>7820487
This is gravy
I'd call the stuff in the OP white sauce

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biscuits_and_gravy
Biscuits and gravy is a popular breakfast dish in the United States, especially in the South.
It consists of soft dough biscuits covered in either sawmill or sausage gravy, made from the drippings of cooked pork sausage, white flour, milk, and often (but not always) bits of sausage, bacon, ground beef, or other meat. The gravy is often flavored with black pepper.
American English and British English use the word "biscuit" to refer to two distinctly different modern foods. Early hard biscuits (North American: cookies) were derived from a twice-baked bread, whereas the North American biscuit is similar to a savoury European scone.[1]
Early European settlers in the United States brought with them a simpler and easy style of cooking, most often based on meat, ground wheat and warmed with gravy.[original research?] After the first pigs were carried from England to Jamestown, Virginia in 1608, they became popular as a home-grown edible animal.[2]
The meal emerged as a distinct regional dish after the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783), when stocks of foodstuffs were in short supply. Breakfast was necessarily the most substantial meal of the day in the South, for a person facing a day of work on the plantations.[2] In addition, the lack of supplies and money meant it had to be cheap.[2]
Restaurant chains specializing in biscuits and gravy are found in North Carolina, which has Biscuitville, and West Virginia, which has Tudor's Biscuit World. In 2015 McDonald's offered an all-day breakfast menu which served their traditional muffins in most of the United States, but limited biscuits mostly to the southeastern United States.[3]
This may sound foolish, but is it possible to make the gravy with chorizo instead of breakfast sausage?
>>7825985
You dumb nigger
It's called country gravy
>>7819401
1/4 fat 1/4 flour 1 cup milk best gravey in town
>>7826253
country trash here, its 100% viable. You will get a weird color though. Its delicious as fuck, anon.
Here's the motherfucking key to biscuits and gravy:
Fry the sausage and then ADD THE FLOUR NEXT. Do not add the milk and then then the flour.
You stir and coat the sausage with flour and then cook it until it soaks up the grease and browns just a little. Then you add the milk, which sort of washes the flour off the sausage.
Bonus: Use canned evaporated milk for extra Southern points.
>>7819475
Sort of like soft scones covered with beschemel that has crumbled breakfast sausage and black pepper in it. It's a traditional Southern thing. Basic and delicious.
>>7826253
You wouldn't get enough fat to make a roux out of chorizo, nowhere near.
>>7819475
Scones covered in a bechamel with chunks of minced pork in it.
>>7825673
God you're stupid.
>>7825862
Americans can't even go one America thread without shitting it up.
Any advice on making good biscuits? Not really a skilled baker.
>>7822742
Biscuits are easy as fuck.
2 cups AP flour
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tbsp baking powder
Whisk that.
Mix in a quarter cup cold butter with a fork, pressing and smashing the butter into the dry ingredients until the butter is distributed throughout in pea-sized bits.
Add a cup of ice cold buttermilk. Mix until it comes together, then turn onto a floured board. Knead very lightly just once or twice, the pat flat to a thickness of 3/4 an inch. Cut with a floured cutter or a thin glass with a 1.5-2 inch mouth. Press straight down into the dough, don't twist.
Bake at 425 for 12 minutes.
>wa la
>>7826316
>Fry the sausage and then ADD THE FLOUR NEXT. Do not add the milk and then then the flour.
Why the fuck would anyone add the flour last?
>>7819584
>Thyme
>Sage
>Biscuits and gravy
We're not making chicken gravy for mashed potatoes anon....
>>7820614
You gotta let the gravy cool and congeal first. Then cut it into a slice and eat it on the biscuits.
>>7827333
well I'm not fucking your mother right now so I think I'll spice up my gravy the way we both like it, kiddo.
>>7821441
>baked macaroni and cheese
>Biscuits and gravy
>>7827429
Absolutely disgusting on both accounts. Firstly used properly seasoned sausage and you won't have to add dinner herbs to your breakfast. Secondly she's been dead for 20 years so enjoy that pussy rot.
>>7826316
why evaporated milk?
>>7827333
black pepper and cayenne
>>7819401
I love it, great for hangovers. Nothing like waking up late Sunday morning, stumbling down to my favorite diner, and scarfing some b and g son
I think I'll head down to the greasy spoon and have myself a plate of BnG.
>>7826470
I melt the butter first, let it cool briefly and then stir the cold buttermilk into it to form small chunks of butter. This then gets mixed into the dry ingredients. You'll get better butter distribution this way, much like making pie dough.
>>7819475
It's fucking delicious when done right but difficult to pull off. And definitely fatass food. Fat people will go to diners and eat 4+ biscuits, which are very very buttery, and a whole boat of gravy.
Anyway, the biscuit is typically somewhat dense but can be very flaky depending on how the butter is cut and how cold the kitchen is.
The gravy is very thick and fatty, sets up into a jelly in the fridge. Tastes like the sausage used and the typical mix of dried spices, sometimes fresh herbs like sage and thyme. The gravy is typically very rich, lots of butter.
>>7825862
>American biscuits
>fried dough
No. They are baked but often browned on a flat top for service. Also, you forgot the buttermilk.
>>7831617
>The gravy is typically very rich, lots of butter
Who in the fuck puts butter in sausage gravy? Was there not enough grease in your sausage?
Did you only have skim milk?
I need fucking answers because as far as I can tell there's no excuse for this!
>>7831617
don't eat it every day.
>>7819401
I fucking love biscuits and gravy, although I prefer bacon gravy to sausage gravy.
Pic related is my favorite place around here to get biscuits and gravy, they are fucking HUGE. (not my pic, just the first one I found that had the biscuits and gravy in the pic). Their biscuits and gravy "side" is a meal in itself.
>>7832257

fucking disgusting
>>7819401
Yes but living in NY I haven't had any in fucking years. Where can I go that sells this shit?
Hell yeah
>>7832406

>>7833531

So true. As far as diner food goes, it beats the hell out of most places.
This thread has made me crave biscuits and gravy.
>>7819401
>Do you like Biscuits and Gravy /ck/?
Hell yes
Do you guys make your own biscuits usually, or use the canned stuff?
>>7833765
What a hideous suggestion... canned biscuits?
>>7833765
I make them because making biscuits is almost as easy as sitting on your ass. Fat, flour, salt, heat.
>>7833765
canned biscuits never have the texture of real biscuits
they are good in a pinch and for use as dough in other baked dishes like a crust or something, but I wouldn't serve those if I intended to impress someone
>>7833743
Well, I usually get breakfast food there, but there are a few other things I like too.
>biscuits and gravy (obviously)
>The Volcano (pancakes topped with 2 eggs sunny side up (or however you like them) with 2 sausage and 2 bacon strips
>the veggie omelet (with country potatoes and a biscuit)
>steak and eggs (with country potatoes and a biscuit)
>sweet cream waffle with fruit
>the giant almond bear claws
>Big Bear burger
>turkey club sandwich
>sourdough melt
>their onion rings
>>7833793
This.
I always make them from scratch, but sometimes I'll buy a tube of biscuit dough to use for something else.
>>7833772
They're not actually canned. They're in refrigerated cardboard tubes that keep the dough from rising. You pop the tube open and then separate the dough in to biscuits or whatever you're going to do with it.
>>7833765
I use the frozen ones because making biscuits takes too long.
Does anyone else put a couple dashes of worchestershire in their gravy?
They serve it at my works cafeteria at breakfast every day , all da old white people love to eat it, had it one day and it was breddy fucking good
>>7826480
Because they would deglaze with the milk and then add flour until it was thick. But this is wrong.
>>7829530
It adds a distinct slightly caramelized flavor and color and is condensed so it's like light cream. It's also old-school country as fuck, from when there was no cow or milkman. Canned milk was a thing around the turn of the last century.
>>7834056
Frozen biscuits are actually pretty good. Much better than canned.
>>7836081
>It adds a distinct slightly caramelized flavor and color and is condensed so it's like light cream. It's also old-school country as fuck, from when there was no cow or milkman. Canned milk was a thing around the turn of the last century.
Truly makes the fucking BEST country gravy for biscuits and gravy or chicken fried steak. I used evaporated milk for this when I ran a kitchen. Customers were always complimenting us on our gravy, constantly. Some old fashioned cooking traditions are still the best.
I made biscuits and gravy tonight actually. About to go downstairs and grab another plate.
Here
>>7834056
>takes too long
wut?
I know attention spans are short these days but is ten to fifteen minutes to make and cut biscuits before throwing them in the oven really that long? hell most of the time I turn the oven on and have the biscuits ready to go in by the time it's done preheating or shortly after
>>7832257
you fucked up forever by not ordering eggs over easy but holy shit that plate looks dank.
>>7819401
Yes, they're my go-to breakfast food whenever I go out to eat breakfast. Basically sausage gravy > crapes > waffles > eggs > anything else > bacon

>the taste of vomited biscuits and gravy comes into my mind whenever my parents made them
>>7836816
That's not my plate, I just grabbed that photo from their yelp page because it showed the biscuits and gravy. I fucking NEVER order scrambled eggs in restaurants. Ever. Always over easy, OR sometimes sunny side up. That's it. I have had that plate before, though. But I get over easy eggs and their country red potatoes instead of the hashbrowns, because the country potatoes just taste better to me.
>>7827528
You like dem big butts
>>7819401
Just went to a greasy spoon and had some. 10/10
yes but it's not a thing I like to eat often
>>7831716
For a restaurant batch of gravy, you need a fucking ton of fat for the big roux.

>Chicken fried steak with a side of biscuits and gravy at this mom and pop restaurant near me
I think I just came.
I have a kind of near-religious fervor about this Cook's Illustrated biscuit recipe:
http://traceysculinaryadventures.com/2012/06/mile-high-buttermilk-biscuits.html
I mean, easily the best I've ever made. It's a real slack dough you bake in a cake pan, no rolling, no cutting.
>>7826384
I'd eat it
>>7832406
And? Wtf is wrong with that
>>7840229
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
>>7834056
this, every recipe I look up for biscuits says to cut cold butter into the dry ingredients but it takes for fucking ever to not have gigantic clumps. am I just doing it wrong or what
>>7840948
Frozen ain't to bad, but pic related will take care of your troubles
Would this be good on toast?
>>7842744
Toast is bread. Biscuits are bread. Why not.
or do you mean biscuits and gravy on toast?
>>7840977
Yes if you are doing southern cooking then that tool is a life savor.
Love it but never made it. Only would want one portion anyway because health. What restaurant is good for it? Denver.
>>7819401
Shit yeah I do. Made them for brunch the other day.
It's on the menu where I work and I had some this morning. Had to make sure the biscuits were completely cooked so I cut one open - might as well eat it.

WTF that is not how you cook biscuits.
You don't need sugar either. It's just flour, salt, baking powder, buttermilk, and butter.
Once you make your dough, which you want cold and no where near overworked, you shape biscuits and put them in a pan and bake them.
Should come out light and fluffy.
Besides why would you even use baking powder with no acid for it to react with?
I don't know what the fuck you're making but it's not biscuits.
One time I made a biscuits and gravy 'za
Biscuit crust, gravy sauce, and mozz' on top. Was bretty gud 2bh.
>>7840948
Use frozen butter and a cheese grater, makes quick work of it.
>>7821441
those biscuits came from a tube. I am 100% certain.
>>7843050
qft
just drop the sick in the freezer before you start and you'll be golden.
also, use bread flour, or 1/2 cake flour 1/2 apf. much flaky/fluffier with low protein flour.
>>7843039
its typical /ck/ where no one cooks and only eats fast food but they are an authority on cooking
biscuit recipe needs shortening or specifically crisco if you wanna be extra southern
sugar doesn't matter. some people get anal about it but you can add it if you want.
to get it nice and golden you are gonna wanna do a wash.

Fucking millennial fuck. Go watch a "tasty" video.
>>7840948
I just melt the butter and mix it into the flour/baking powder. Break up the lumps with your hands. After you add the cold milk, it makes the butter solidify again. You have to stir it a bit longer because the butter is preventing some of the flour from absorbing the liquid at first.
I'm sure this is sacrilege but it works for me, don't have butter leaking out of the biscuits and they're still tender.
>>7843410
there was a popular song about sex with the line "want you smothered want you covered like my waffle house hash browns"

No! Please illuminate me with your wisdom!
Oh lucky day, I shall finally become illuminated!
>>7844052
Ok well sometimes a small, relatively unpopular band will write, perform, and record a song that becomes very popular. However, despite this one song being popular the rest of the band's discography, and therefore the band itself does not become popular. This can also happen to solo performers.
